I think Boston will lose Holiday this off-season (or in-season?). They'll keep all the other key pieces, however.

Cavs may get weaker by losing some bench depth.

I think Indiana is pretty close to their upper limit unless they make a trade next season using Siakam + Math + picks for a true all-nba type guy. They may even lose Turner though I suspect they'll keep him on an extension and shed elsewhere. Indiana has very solid talent and a very good coach but they will lose on talent once they reach ECF/Finals like they did last season. IMO of course.

Yes indeed Wingo, so is Horford. So they could lose both of them, and the Cavs are most likely losing Ty Jerome who would have been in the running for 6th man of the year if it weren't for the MPG thresholds.

The Pacers could lose Myles Turner too. 8-)


What do you think of possibly luring Horford here?



He'd take a minimum with the Celtics before coming here, if he goes anywhere it'll be for more money.

I want to see us come out throwing haymakers. Let's get back to NYC with the sweep still on the table!

KP and Horford are also free agents for the Celtics. They may lose both of them as well (Horford may also retire depending).

This is what I envisioned when the trade went down.
Can’t wait for the salary cap to open up - then we’ll really feel the advantage of the Brunson deal, and locking up the core; especially getting someone like Mikal
for his salary cost.

I won’t lose faith if we get blown out because I expect
Boston to be desperate. However, the Knicks could act more desperate-then Boston will be in trouble IMO.

This was the vision. With Brunson and KAT we need elite wing defenders

Yeah we will see if we can match their energy tonight. We certainly brought it in the 2nd half last game so I hope we see more of it tonight. What I also want to see is better efficiency scoring the ball, maybe playing more loose and free could help that tonight but we gotta make our shots and free throws. If we do that and still bring the hustle, we have a really good chance

I'm expecting a loss but the pressure is on Boston. We are playing with house money this game. At the age time keep the intensity and grit from last game. Put the pressure on Boston. Keep it close and I like our chances down the stretch
